The Early Year of KGB-CHEKA

The KGB is one of the most effective security agencies in the world. The former Soviet Union's State Security Committee, known as the KGB, was disbanded in 1991. Turansky Square, in front of the KGB headquarters in Moscow, was named for the first Bolshevik security commander. It is currently known as Lubyanka, its original name. The KGB is associated with secrecy, dread, and evil. For more than 70 years, the Soviet security organization operated under several titles and was a strong and authoritarian body feared by the entire Soviet populace. An examination of the KGB's background reveals information about its origins. The KGB and its predecessors have played significant roles in Russian history. The Bolsheviks required a secret police agency following the October Revolution. Their party was small and unpopular, and it appeared that they could lose power just as easily as they had gained it. On December 7, 1917, the Soviet People's Commissars, at Lenin's request, founded the all-Russian special Commission for fighting counter-revolution and sabotage of the dreaded Cheka.

Felix Dzerzhinsky was named chairman. Dzerzhinsky was born in 1877 to a poor Polish nobleman's family and had a religious education.

Only a few of the initial 20 men would survive, including Yakov Peters, Ivanka Senafrontoff, and Martin Latsis. The Bolsheviks delegated numerous crucial tasks to the Cheka. Russia awaited the Constituent Assembly to convene and build the groundwork for a new political structure. Many people hoped that this would be the end of it.

Opposing parties prepared for a parliamentary battle in the face of Bolshevik dominance. However, the Bolsheviks had no intention of ceding power to the duly elected Assembly. Cheka agents arrested Union members in December 1917 for supporting the Constituent Assembly. On January 5, 1918, Bolshevik soldiers suppressed a rally of its sympathizers. The Assembly met in Torrid's palace. The next day, security led by Cheka agents block
